Toy Review: Transformers Generations Studio Series Mohawk (Core)

Review:  #813

Name:  Mohawk

Brand:  Transformers

Allegiance:  Decepticon

Line:  Generations - Studio Series

Year of Release:  2024

Size Class:  Core (Wave 9)

Mold Status:  new

VEHICLE MODE:

Mohawk transforms into a generic motorcycle, based upon his appearance in The Last Knight movie.

For a Core class, this vehicle mode is very decent.  There aren't any gimmicks here, you can only roll him on a flat surface.

He's tiny though, and that is his biggest negative.

The robot weapon, a knife, can peg onto the side.  There is a tiny kickstand that helps keep him upright.

An excellent vehicle mode, and one that is impressive given he is so tiny.

TRANSFORMATION:

Mohawk is spindly, and that reflections in the transformation.  The back form legs while the upper portion is the arms.  The two wheels are somewhat inelegantly on separate pieces of plastic that feels somewhat off.

ROBOT MODE:

For such a tiny figure, Mohawk does a wonderful job of translating the character into toy form.

He looks really nice here, and the only kibble that he has are the two motorcycle wheels.  Somewhat annoying is that the wheels are at different heights...

The head sculpt is great, and there are splashes of neon green to break up the gunmetal grey.

In a surprise twist, the mouth and open and close, a neat gimmick that you mostly only see on larger figures.

As mentioned, he is small, which is exacerbated by his spindly stature.

At least he has long feet meaning he wouldn't be likely to lose balance.  Articulation is fine, with joints for his head, shoulders, elbows, hips and knees.

For weaponry, he has a tiny little knife (based off the concept art, as he never used a knife in the movie).  He can hold the knife in either hand.

The knife can then store away on his back afterwards.

Another neat gimmick is how his head can be detached... (so yeah, you can re-enact his decapitation).  It's quite hilarious.

There's just something charming about how alien and beastly the design is.  Having to feel so accurate to the movie design is amazing too.

An excellent robot mode that's worth the price of admission.

OVERALL:

Mohawk is one of those rare figures that carries a lot of charm while being a good Transformer.  That's not expected, given he is part of the smallest (as of the current line) size class.  He translated the (overly) complicated movie design wonderfully into toy form.
